The Name Yanai Laban

Greetings, The name Yanai is good and recommended (see Pirkei Avot, Chapter 4, Mishnah 15, which mentions a Tanna named Rabbi Yanai). However, one should not intend to name after King Yanai, as he was entirely wicked (see Berachot 48a and Kiddushin 66a, where it mentions that he killed the sages of Israel. Likewise, this matter is discussed in the book Vayikra Shmo B'Yisrael, page 314). Blessings, Hillel Meirs
